Spring is one month old to-day,
but the coy maiden has been very
shy aud wary Of her charms. She
seemed very 10th to qni: the lap oil
Old Winter. aud although he is 60
sullen aud sad. AMI tried to rnle
the year. yet one cannot help think
ing lie is all too gallant to sit in the
clap Of Spring" so shave for the
nonce accused the little daDael oi
lingering in his hoary embrace.
But ut present she has given him
the initten, seemingly, snd he il
taking himself of. with bis vapors,
clouds aud storms. and all tho kin.
bred gloom for which he is 80 ia.
nous. Joy 60 with him. and may
he 60 to stay, at least for q few
months.
We Of Pearl River Junction will
soon be able to shake hands with
your big city. ae that railroad is
now anytLing but a myth. just
think Of it, Only four miles out
side OF a hand shake.
Tue Northeastern Railroad be-
gan to run excursion trains from
the city last Sunday. Two trains
were loaded with excursionists,
who we're gla'l to get a sight of the
healthy pine trees and q breath Of
pure air. When the road is finish
ed to You: inland city. there will
be a boom for this beautiful parish
no: heard Of before. Already has
tho fame of your health-giving
springs at Abita gone abroad. and
many are wondering why health
seekers hy to the mountains, when
they might find the object Of their
search nearer home. Sometimes
health. ms we'll as charity. begins at
home. il one could only appreciate
home belongings. Some day tn e
world will hear of st. Tammany
aud her grand resources. aud flock
to the salubrions climate that
would throw tie rejnvenating
springs Of Ponce lie Leon in the
shade. even il ho had found them.
Your correspondent. T. S. w.,
"astonislled the natives" last week
with that wonderful pheno:nena
related in his communication. We
had heard al cures and cures, and
read miraculous statements Of other
cures, and vowed never To get sold
with another Vinegar Bitters"
AL. ana then saw one member of
our family completely wilteL al the
recital of that marvellous cure.
When tho "catnip tea" can,c IL her
mental vision cleared mp some
what. and light broke in very sud-
lenIy. June roses bloomed on her
checks. and Summer sat in the lap
IF Spring for moment or so.
This morning we were agreeably
surprised by receiving u pleasant
call frow two Of your honored citi-
zens. Mr.. j. E. Smith and Rev. G
r. Ellis. who we-e ell route to the
District Conference at Ei!isville.
The camp meeting subject was
discussed and seconded by all the
powers that be in our province
Hope t will be a grand success.
This enterprise will add another
leaf to the laurel that will soon
adorn the brow OF our beautiful
parish. Then will the FARMER
come in for q share of the credit
for the role it has played for the
good of the public.
Mr.. Enoch Tnllsy. our oldest citi-
zen. is FRUSTRATED with pulmonary
complaint. His brother John. from
Bogne Chhto. came to see him last
week, and went 10 church and
our Sunday School for MS.
much to our OBLIGATION.
Mr.. Morris T~lley was also here
on a short visit.
Our town does not progress very
fast. but we are hoping for better
